paper artist of the week: chris gilmour
chris gilmour creates amazing full-scale, incredibly detailed sculptural replicas of various objects with only cardboard and glue - he uses no other supporting structures. chris compares his sculptures to drawing ..."a way of seeing objects by observing and measuring them. there is a process of deconstruction, followed by the actual construction process. it is in this process of making, in an almost instantaneous and immediate construction, as if...using a pencil on a piece of paper, that the subtlety of diversity is embodied." to see more of his work, go here .

paper artist of the week: sam winston
when i was first considering starting a blog, sam winston was an artist i wanted to feature right away - he combines his love of typography, language and art in such a unique way. as it happens, i've been blogging a bit now and haven't yet featured him. fortunately, the blogging world has been rich with posts of his work recently to remind me. in november of '07, he was commissioned to create a new body of work to celebrate the reopening of the saison poetry library of southbank centre royal festival hall in london. the feature piece of this exhibition was the folded dictionary (image above), a large-scale scuplture using all 20 volumes of the complete oxford english dictionary. sam's fascination with language and the written word is at least in part fueled by his dyslexia, which has allowed him to "blur the boundaries between words and text, enabling him to disassociate their literal meanings and see their artistic potential as purely visual tools instead.&quo
